Saturday Roundup: Why Kamala Lost, Falling into Holes, and How Billionaires Bought a Presidency
Another busy week here at The Banter.
In case you missed it, here’s what we covered at The Banter this past week!:
My piece on the obvious reason why Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump, and why most people don’t want to acknowledge it (Members):
Bob Cesca’s powerful piece on processing what happened in the election and getting to grips with what new Trump era is going to mean for America and the rest of the world:
My piece on who is responsible for Trump’s victory on Tuesday, and what The Banter plans to do about it:
Before the election, we published my (incorrect) prediction for the election and a plea from Justin Rosario to avert disaster. If you are a glutton for punishment, you can read my piece here, and Justin’s here.
I was also interviewed by British journalist Nick Cohen on his podcast the day after the election where we talked about where Democrats went wrong, and what a Trump victory means for America. You can listen to our discussion here:
Hope everyone has a great weekend all things considered!

Kamala promised her staffers payment until the end of the year.
She just cut them off because the campaign is $20,000,000 in debt.
Let me restate that:
The candidate who ran on JOY, somehow spent $1 billion in 107 days.
The candidate who ran on JOY, reportedly spent $2,626,110 on private flights alone in the last two weeks of the election.
And the candidate who ran on JOY, just stopped paying her employees at Christmas time, the most JOYOUS time of the year.
And now she's begging donors for even more money, even though the election is over and she lost.
I can't stop laughing!
And people wanted to hand her control of the American economy! 😂
The real reason she lost? Hint….reason is inadequate. Reasons is appropriate. Read Robert Graboyes outstanding essay published on this site November 6. It’s incredibly well written and intelligent. A scholar as opposed to a social media hack. Or maybe you could watch Oprah’s absurd campaign pitch and clap your hands (again!). I’ll stop there before I say something I might regret.
